It reads: Ten people have tried to crawl out of the carriages, including a mother

with a child who, according to eyewitnesses, went into a mental state of deep
stress, jumping directly into their death from one of the top carts. Several other

people had also jumped, while others tried to climb the steep arms of the Ferris

wheel and had slipped down the supports of the wheel, probably because they
made a wrong step or miscalculated the distance due to the dark. People had

crowded together, trying to catch the woman as she leaped, but the rescue

mission was impossible due to the fall of the woman. As she hit other wagons

She is certainly younger than him, with at least a generation gap between them.

She could be one of his daughters' friends from university.
“The police, myself included, doesn’t answer questions right now. A press

conference will be held on Blackwood Street at 12 o’clock; you can ask your

questions there,” he says with an almost overly rigidly attitude, just to get rid of
her as soon as possible. He continues:

"I’ll have to ask you and the others to leave the area immediately, this is a

casualty site, or at least to keep out of the police barrier that’s being established."
With his pipe, he points in the direction of a small group of photographers and

journalists that have gradually gathered around the opposite side of the wheel.
Then he turns his back on the woman again and resumes his conversation with
